SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 30, 2015) - Simavita Limited (ASX:SVA) (TSX VENTURE:SV) ("Simavita" or the "Company"), a global leader in the digital healthcare sector, is pleased to release its ASX Appendix 4C for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company is also pleased to provide data demonstrating the growing adoption of SIM™ in both domestic and international markets.

ASX Appendix 4C - September 30, 2015

Cash receipts from customers for the quarter were $223,816. This figure represents an increase of 148% over the total cash receipts from customers for the corresponding quarter in 2014 of $90,223.

Highlights during and immediately post the September quarter included:

Execution of sales and marketing agreement with Paul Hartmann Pty. Ltd. to further expand the distribution of SIM™ in the Australian marketplace.

Global roll out of the Software as a Service (SaaS) business model commenced.

Two Canadian distribution partners signed up to distribute SIM™ on a non-exclusive basis in Canada and, post the quarter, the first Canadian chain signed up under a SaaS model.

The Company has further strengthened its global patent portfolio with the granting of six new patents during the quarter.

Distribution arrangements with Medline modified, transitioning to a non-exclusive distribution agreement in parallel with the strengthening of Simavita's own US sales and marketing team.

Immediately post the quarter:

Significant funding ($469,450) awarded by the Queensland Health Department to fund the deployment of SIM™ in rehabilitation wards of two major hospitals in Brisbane over the next two years.

Sales of SIM™ in the North American market continue to grow, with new agreements signed representing 2,500 beds, and further pilots underway as part of the expanding North American pipeline.

Simavita's CEO, Mrs. Philippa Lewis commented, "We have worked hard in the September quarter to reset our approach to business development in the North American market, and are now better positioned for flexible growth. The amendment to our distribution agreement with Medline has been key to enabling Simavita to work directly in the region, and we're starting to see early results from the change.

"In addition, the recently-awarded funding by the Queensland Department of Health for the deployment of SIM™ in the acute care rehab market opens up a potentially large and exciting market for our products. This, coupled with sales and marketing agreements in Australia with Hartmann and Bunzl, supports and reinforces our direct sales strategy", she said.

Market uptake data for SIM™

As a result of the highlights noted above, and other important initiatives such as the release of the Version 4.10 sensor, the global deployment of SIM™ has continued to increase during the September quarter.

Subsequent to the end of the September quarter, a significant proportion of the contracted sites awaiting deployment of SIM™ have commenced using the technology.

As announced on October 14, 2015, the Company has the equivalent of 18 contracted SaaS sites in the rehabilitation wards of the two large public hospitals in Queensland following the successful applications made under the Queensland Department of Health's New Technology Funding and Evaluation Program.

This brings the combined total number of deployed and contracted sites to well over 100.

In addition to the above, the Company's Danish distributor, Abena, has recently ordered further inventory of SIM™ assessments which are now being deployed across a number of Danish sites.

The Company is also pleased to note the increasing number of pilots scheduled in the coming months. Many pilots are being conducted in facilities that are part of larger groups and commonly pilots lead to the deployment of SIM™ across the group.

The Company's SaaS business model includes the SIM™ software and consumables which are invoiced and paid on a monthly basis, and recognised as revenue each month, as is common with other similar SaaS models. Importantly, as the Company's customer base increases, these payments will form a valuable annuity stream for Simavita

"We are confident that the Company's growing pipeline, supported by the encouraging number of contracted sites together with the pilots that are now scheduled, will result in growing sales of SIM™ over the coming quarters", Mrs. Lewis added.
